The bundle will launch as a single game card at the suggested retail price of $30. A demo for upcoming Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition will also be available from the Nintendo eShop from May.

Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition resembles a "classic" Super Mario Bros. game, albeit one with a "puzzling twist". The second title, Puzzle and Dragons Z, was a hit in Japan, shifting more than 1.5 million units in the first six months. Both employ the drag-and-match premise to solve puzzles, level up and clear stages, although Nintendo believes that "much deeper game play" lies beyond the puzzles.

When we played Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition, we thought that "every aspect of Puzzle & Dragons has been retrofitted for this special Super Mario Bros. Edition. Each world has a theme, with a map that feels ripped out of the next New Super Mario Bros. game. It all provides wonderful layers of fan service that will make any Nintendo fan feel right at home."

A blockbuster hit in Japan, Puzzle & Dragons for Nintendo 3DS includes two versions of the game series. Puzzle & Dragons Z is an authentic P&D adventure, while Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Edition is a new twist in the series that mixes your favorite Mario Bros. characters into the game.
